Editorial Standards

Quantitative Economics is oriented towards (1)
empirical research that is rigorously informed by
econometrics and/or economic theory and (2)
econometric and theory work that is empirically
directed. In particular, the journal welcomes
theoretical and computational papers that have
empirical orientation, such as work on identification
or estimation and computational techniques with
practical interest. Quantitative Economics
aims at covering a variety of applied fields,
including labor economics, industrial organization,
development and growth economics, macroeconomics,
international economics, public finance and social
economics.

The editorial board is especially interested in
providing a forum for papers that are innovative
beyond established types of analysis, for papers that
are willing to challenge conventional ways of
conducting empirically oriented work, and for papers
that build new bridges across fields.

Quantitative Economics’ editorial board
strives to reduce the length of the editorial process,
keeping at a minimum multiple revisions and trying to
avoid delays while maintaining the highest standards
in the editorial process.
